Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
B. Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
C. Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.


Thought: By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

options: Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.

Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice identifying the parts of a linear equation that affect specific features of its graph, specifically the slope and
\(y\)
-intercept. This will be useful when students make connections between two-variable linear equations and their graphs and situations that they represent in an associated Algebra 1 lesson.
Student Facing
For each equation, identify the slope and
\(y\)
-intercept of its graph.
\(y = 3x-8\)
\(y = 10-2x\)
\(y = \frac{x}{2} + 1\)
\(y + 1 = 9x\)
\(y = \frac{1}{3}(9x + 12)\)

Activity Synthesis
Discuss the slopes and
\(y\)
-intercepts and how they can be used. Here are discussion questions:
"How do you find the slope and
\(y\)
-intercept for the graph of a linear equation written in standard form like
\(\text-3x+y=\text-8\)
?" (Substitute 0 for
\(x\)
and solve for
\(y\)
.)
"The rate of change in a situation corresponds to what part of the graph?" (The rate of change corresponds to the slope of a graph.)
"Why is it useful to know the
\(y\)
-intercept and slope?" (The
\(y\)
-intercept and slope can make it very easy to create a graph from an equation because we know the key features. Also, they are useful to know in understanding a situation and the relationships between each quantity involved.)
